Looking through old sketchbooks is akin to old photograph albums isn't it, you must have a lot Sylvia if they go back to 1013! Lovely lively sketches that convey the excitement of the music.

Oh they go back about ten years…. Might just bore everyone with some of them. You are so right they are much better than photographs I love my camera but love my sketch books more , I really looked and related with my memories.
